new packages

[Daniel Wittenberg]

I was just reading about the fedora project's goals on the website, and
it says that it should be easier to get new packages included.  What is
the process for this?  Could snort be included?

First: probably makes more sense on fedora-devel-list, FYI.

It's a goal.  Right now we haven't yet built the necessary infrastructure.
The pre-existing Fedora Linux Project at http://www.fedora.us/ does have
infrastructure, and part of merging with them will be bringing those
packages into a shared infrastructure, so the right way to get started
is to work on getting the packages in there.

So for now, basically wait until the merge is done, if I understand you
correctly ?

No, just start contributing in the pre-existing Fedora Linux Project
at http://www.fedora.us/ and then keep maintaining them when the merge
happens.  It's going to take months to merge the infrastructure; no
point in waiting for that to be complete.

Snort is available at http://fedora.us in the "testing" repository,and
a newer version is in the package queue, waiting for reviews and QA
approval. Please take a look, evaluate the package and add any
comments:

  https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=716

You could even talk to the current packager in case you'd like to take
over the snort packages.

Actually I already maintain the official snort RPM's, so I was curious
what's being done with it, and don't mind doing one that will fit both
needs.  I will take a look.  Thanks!
